More than a year ago, I began a personal campaign of "ungoverned warlordism" over the Eravate star system. Simply put, I sought to single-handedly become its sole ruler. As is typical with warlord rule, though the official governments of Eravate continued to exist, I successfully established my own independent, parallel government. I rose to power through a combination of military superiority over my subjects, guerilla warfare tactics (to evade local authorities), and a winsome nobleness of character that people cannot help but revere. Eventually, I came to be known as the Overlord of Eravate, and my renown even inspired the creation of some of the most beautiful works of musical artistry ever performed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuYPWdBWeHo&list=PLW-K9HCeiR-YLIDHbmh9rzuBM918DIkH4).
To date, my Eravate overlordship has already brought the region numerous benefits:
- Awe-inspiring leadership: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTY_aHYuqFM
- Public transportation reform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdw3wdixt-o
- Improved law enforcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7v7Rj445uM
- Fair taxes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRxiM0JLNZQ
- Free child care: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpV12mfNCC0
- Just redistribution of wealth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_FwrNsxSKU
- Better environmental protection policies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0dnGWXD8E0
- Pilot mentoring programs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCPPWiehe8E
- Giving to the poor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKXIJ9I1hVk
- Effective population control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5quC6yUIcY
- Strong borders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqt8LxUKEAg
- Peacemaking with alien species: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC-LSC9iwL4
Yet I want to accomplish so much more; I want to make Eravate the hub of peace and prosperity that I know it can be. But unfortunately, several factors have stood in the way.
First, there remains a significant portion of the populace that have yet to submit to my overlordship. It has always been my sincere hope that people would realize this logical truth: total obedience to my authority will eradicate all conflict. If everyone were to unite under my leadership, our cohesive unity and singleness of purpose would leave no room for conflict or disagreement, and there would finally be peace. But in their stubborn defiance, some people still refuse to accept my lead, and in doing so, they continue to divide us.
The second impediment has been a group of morally deranged renegades that call themselves Adle's Armada. Their sociopathic love of war and death has led them to perpetuate a cycle of violence in Eravate that has left it in a continuous state of upheaval. And despite multiple attempts, I have discovered that they are absolutely unwilling to even entertain the idea of civil diplomacy.
I cannot bear to watch Eravate tear itself apart any longer. We must unite. And if that cannot happen diplomatically, through the changing of hearts and minds, then there remains no other choice but to coerce unity through the aggressive use of force.
This is why I chose to deploy one of the most formidable fighting forces ever assembled: a supreme team-up between the Smiling Dog Crew and the Nomads. Their mission was to blockade the Eravate star system, crushing Adle's Armada, and purging Eravate of any remaining Pilots Federation dissidents. And according to all reports, their work so far has been an overwhelming success.
As we transition to a new order of things in Eravate, I ask that in addition to your unconditional obedience to all of my directives, that you regard SDC and Nomad members as your proper superiors, in all matters. I have granted them full legal authority to operate as law enforcement officials in Eravate, and I insist that you comply with anything they may ask of you.
Let us look forward to Eravate's bright future, together.
Sincerely,
Zarek Null
